It would be aggravating, but possible, to get by with the official 3.0.6 AppImage with virtually no plugins that work but, it's going to hurt to lose the old 2.10.38 AppImage with the plethora of plugins that I use with it.
You forgot about the guarantee, there is none
I do not have a Mint 22.3 for a try-out. For backward compatibility the appimage comes from an old ubuntu 22.04. There is a Gimp 3.0.8 coming soon and that will probably kill off my appimage anyway.
Backward compatibility is also the problem with the gimp.org 3.x appimages, Generated with a Debian "bookworm" base so to compile gmic or resynth plugins you need a working Debian 12 / Gimp 3 for that mix. That has defeated me. No use using Debian 13, I tried.
Some alternatives:
Get the flatpak Gimp 3, that seems to have dedicated gmic and resynth packages.
For older python plugins the ivan-hc appimage might work (I have not tried it) https://github.com/ivan-hc/GIMP-appimage...ous-hybrid but not compiled plugins.
I might be worth installing a regular Gimp 3 from a PPA https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/+...ntu/gimp-3 I use one of those for compiling gmic and resynth.
If & when I upgrade to kubuntu 26.04 that will come with Gimp 3 anyway, probably the same with the next Mint.
